EP 239. [Self-Sabotage Series] The Dirty Little Secret Behind Emotional Eating—And How to Break Free

Stop. Dieting. Forever. with Jennifer Dent Brown, Health + Life Coach for Women

The world feels heavier these days. The news is relentless, stress is high, and your brain is doing everything it can to create a sense of safety. But here’s what no one tells you—your emotional eating has nothing to do with food. It’s not about willpower, discipline, or trying harder.

It’s about self-sabotage as self-protection.

When you don’t know how to process your emotions, your brain looks for the quickest way to escape discomfort. Food. Alcohol. Scrolling. Work. It’s not a lack of control; it’s a survival instinct. But if you don’t address this at the source, you’ll find yourself in the same cycle over and over again.

In the final episode of the Self-Sabotage Series, we’re breaking it all down:

• Why your brain clings to old habits, even when you’re determined to change
• How the 24/7 news cycle makes you more vulnerable to emotional eating
• A simple, strategic plan to help you break free for good

This is the conversation that changes everything.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The real reason you keep sabotaging your weight loss goals (and why it has nothing to do with discipline)
• Why emotional eating is a coping mechanism, not a personal failure
• How constant global uncertainty fuels stress-driven habits
• The three-step plan to stop reacting to stress with food
• The one skill you must master to take back control of your body and mind

It’s time to step into something different. If you’re ready, let’s begin.
